故事法巧记短语
### 故事一:校园足球赛的逆袭
Last week, our school held a football match. Our class team was up against a very strong opponent. At the beginning of the game, we were all excited and full of confidence. But soon, things started to go wrong.
The other team was really good, and we began to fall back (落后). Their players were much faster, and we found it hard to keep up. Our coach shouted, "Don't fall back! Keep fighting!" But for a while, it seemed like we were losing control.
Then, our captain, Tom, got an idea. He called back (召集) the team and said, "We need to change our strategy. Let's fall back on (求助于,借助于,依靠) our teamwork. We've practiced together, and that's our strength." With that, they started to play more closely as a team.
In the second half of the game, we managed to get back (恢复) some of our momentum. Tom passed the ball to Jack, who quickly played it back (把(球)传回) to Tom. Tom ran forward and scored a goal! The whole class cheered.
But the other team didn't give up. They attacked hard, and we had to keep back (往后退,(与…)保持距离) and defend. Our goalkeeper, Mike, made some amazing saves. He blocked a shot that almost went in, and we all breathed a sigh of relief.
As the game went on, we realized we could win. We fought back (抵抗,还击) even harder. Another player, David, got the ball and ran past several opponents. He kicked the ball hard, and it went straight into the goal. We were leading now!
The other team tried to turn things around, but we held back (抑制,克制(感情),这里指克制胜利的喜悦,保持专注) our excitement and continued to play well. In the end, we won the game. We all jumped up and down, celebrating our victory. This game taught us that no matter how difficult the situation is, we can bounce back (恢复健康,重振旗鼓,这里指在比赛中扭转局势) if we stick together and fight back.
**中文翻译**:上周,我们学校举办了一场足球比赛。我们班的球队对阵一支实力很强的对手。比赛一开始,我们都很兴奋,充满信心。但很快,情况就开始不对劲了。
对方球队非常出色,我们开始落后。他们的球员速度更快,我们很难跟上。我们的教练喊道:“别落后!继续战斗!” 但有一段时间,我们似乎失去了控制。
然后,我们的队长汤姆想出了一个主意。他召集队员们说:“我们需要改变策略。我们要依靠团队合作。我们一起训练过,这是我们的优势。” 于是,他们开始更加紧密地团队协作。
比赛下半场,我们设法恢复了一些势头。汤姆把球传给杰克,杰克迅速把球传回给汤姆。汤姆向前跑,进了一球!全班同学都欢呼起来。
但是对方球队没有放弃。他们猛烈进攻,我们不得不后退防守。我们的守门员迈克做出了一些精彩的扑救。他挡住了一个差点进球的射门,我们都松了一口气。
随着比赛的进行,我们意识到我们能赢。我们更加努力地反击。另一名球员大卫拿到球,突破了几个对手。他用力踢球,球直接进了球门。我们现在领先了!
对方球队试图扭转局面,但我们克制住兴奋的心情,继续好好比赛。最后,我们赢得了比赛。我们都高兴得跳了起来,庆祝胜利。这场比赛让我们明白,无论情况多么困难,只要我们团结在一起并反击,就能在困境中扭转局势。
### 故事二:神秘的旧照片
One day, while cleaning the attic, I found an old box. Curious, I opened it and saw a bunch of old photos. As I looked through them, I was taken back (使回想起) to my childhood.

I showed the photos to my mom. She looked back on (回顾,回忆) those times with a smile. "These photos bring back (回忆起,使想起) so many good memories," she said. One of the photos was of my parents' wedding. Mom told me how they had to cut back (削减,缩减) on some expenses because they didn't have much money at that time.
I decided to keep the photos safe. I put them back (把…放回) in the box carefully. But then, I noticed one photo was missing a corner. I wondered what had happened to it. I asked my mom if she knew, but she said she had no idea.
A few days later, my cousin came to visit. He saw the box of photos and started looking through them. Suddenly, he said, "I think I've seen that missing corner before." He went back (返回) to his house and came back (回来,返回) with a small piece of photo. It was the missing corner! He had found it when he was cleaning his room a long time ago and had forgotten about it.
We were so happy to have the photo complete again. We put it back in the box and decided to take better care of these precious memories. These old photos were like a time - machine, taking us back to the good old days and making us cherish the past even more.
**中文翻译**:一天,我在打扫阁楼的时候,发现了一个旧盒子。出于好奇,我打开它,看到了一堆旧照片。当我翻看这些照片时,我的思绪回到了童年。
有一张我和祖父母的合影。我回想起我们一起去钓鱼的日子。钓了一整天鱼后,我们总是会回到湖边他们的小农舍。那些日子里,我无忧无虑。
我把照片拿给妈妈看。她微笑着回忆起那些时光。“这些照片勾起了好多美好的回忆。” 她说。其中有一张是我父母的结婚照。妈妈告诉我,因为当时他们没什么钱,所以不得不削减一些开支。
我决定好好保管这些照片。我小心翼翼地把它们放回盒子里。但后来,我发现有一张照片缺了一角。我想知道发生了什么事。我问妈妈是否知道,可她也一无所知。
几天后,我的表弟来拜访。他看到了这盒照片,开始翻看。突然,他说:“我觉得我以前见过那个缺的角。” 他回家一趟,然后带着一小片照片回来了。正是那张照片缺失的一角!他很久以前打扫房间的时候发现了它,后来却忘了这回事。
照片又完整了,我们都很高兴。我们把它放回盒子里,决定更好地保管这些珍贵的回忆。这些旧照片就像一台时光机,带我们回到过去的美好时光,让我们更加珍惜过去。
### 故事三:小镇的神秘传说
In a small town, there was an old house that everyone was a little afraid of. It was said that strange things happened there. One day, a group of curious teenagers decided to explore it.
When they arrived at the house, they stood back (靠后站,退后) for a while, looking at the old, creepy building. Some of them were a bit scared, but their curiosity got the better of them. They moved back (使退后) the overgrown bushes to make a path and slowly walked towards the door.
As they entered the house, they heard strange noises. One of the girls wanted to turn back (原路返回) right away, but the others convinced her to keep going. They looked around and found some old letters on the table. As they read the letters, they realized that they might be able to find out the secrets of the house.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the house, and the door slammed shut. They all got scared and started to move back (往后退). One of the boys tried to open the door, but it seemed to be stuck. They called back (叫回) their courage and decided to look for another way out.
They explored the house further and found a hidden room. Inside the room, there was an old book. When they opened the book, they saw that it was full of strange symbols. They couldn't make sense of it at first, but then one of the smartest boys in the group remembered that he had seen similar symbols in a history book. He thought back to (回想,回忆) what he had read and realized that the symbols might date back to (追溯到) an ancient time.
Just then, they heard a voice coming from outside. They were afraid it might be someone dangerous. They decided to hide in the hidden room and keep back (隐瞒,这里指不发出声音) any noise. After a while, the voice faded away, and they carefully made their way out of the house.
Once they were outside, they ran back to their homes. They couldn't wait to tell their friends about their adventure. But they also knew that they had to keep the secrets of the old house. This adventure made them realize that there were still many mysteries in their small town waiting to be discovered.
**中文翻译**:在一个小镇上,有一座老房子,大家都有点害怕它。据说那里会发生奇怪的事情。一天,一群好奇的青少年决定去探索这座房子。
他们到达房子后,往后退了一会儿,看着这座老旧阴森的建筑。他们中的一些人有点害怕,但好奇心还是占了上风。他们把长得过于茂盛的灌木丛往后移,开辟出一条路,然后慢慢朝门走去。
他们走进房子时,听到了奇怪的声音。其中一个女孩想立刻原路返回,但其他人说服她继续前进。他们四处查看,在桌子上发现了一些旧信件。读这些信件时,他们意识到或许能揭开这座房子的秘密。
突然,一阵大风刮过房子,门砰地关上了。他们都吓坏了,开始往后退。一个男孩试图打开门,但门好像卡住了。他们鼓起勇气,决定寻找其他出路。
他们继续在房子里探索,发现了一个隐藏的房间。房间里有一本旧书。他们打开书,看到里面满是奇怪的符号。一开始他们看不懂,但随后小组里最聪明的一个男孩想起他在一本历史书上见过类似的符号。他回想起自己读过的内容,意识到这些符号可能追溯到古代。
就在这时,他们听到外面传来一个声音。他们担心可能是危险人物。于是决定躲在隐藏的房间里,不发出任何声音。过了一会儿,声音消失了,他们小心翼翼地走出了房子。
一到外面,他们就跑回了家。他们迫不及待地想把这次冒险经历告诉朋友们。但他们也知道,必须保守这座老房子的秘密。这次冒险让他们意识到,他们的小镇上还有许多秘密等待被发现。
